88 85 - FL has a blast dancing with everyone at the ball makes friends with the lady she met on the outing and gets closer to the ML (like they now kinda awkwardly orbit each other because of the contract but they're smitten) baby sis schemes with her new friend on how to get the 2 together and arrange an entire curated date. which the ML takes advantage of 80 - they visit the king as requested where the entire meeting consists on the king shit talking the ML to his face, but he doesn't mandate a cancellation of their wedding documents. Next is the prom, FL is excited to go but is immediately hit with the rooms negative thoughts upon entering. The 2 are well received by the crown prince and his relatives (wife/brother) 79 - FL freaks out because fairy tears are being sold. While shopping they meet this overly friendly girl and things were going great until her mom hound out who FL was and quickly turned tail and ran. Brother seems to be spreading malicious rumors?? 78 - Couple take a train ride to test the car prototype and on the way back FL stops another assassination but gets poisoned from the blade in the process. The combination of the poison and hearing the assassins dying thoughts leaves her unconscious. FL has excepted the realization that she’s in love with ML after the incident where ML finds out baby sister cries jewels and doesn’t immediately try to take advantage of her but swears to undo the curse and punish the witch who did it. FL father dies, and now they’re worried about the brother starting shit… which he’s definitely going to do. The prince sent the invitation to the royal ball so she scrambled to get everything and everyone prepared for it. They go shopping on their way to the capital and fl is shocked by some jewelry?? Probably the brother selling leftover tears and utilizing the gold mine his father died in. Baby sister admits that she can hear thoughts out of love in addition to crying jewels after getting caught replying to something FL did not say out loud 70 - several things happen. FL tells ML about what home life was like and admits she was a participant in the abuse but doesn't tell him WHY the baby was abused, ML tells her that he knew everything already because he was spying on the family. The first (i think??) prince pays an incognito visit in his and the kings interest because they want to ensure that the ML isn't a threat to the throne since their marriage came about in a manner that was sudden & suspect. The prince convinces everyone that they should go hunting & FL learns to shoot a fun during this time. Things are great and she makes a couple catches, until she tries for a fox. The gun backfires and spooks the horse. They recuperate in the shack ML used to live in and he tells FL about living there and losing his mother [the father comes to help them escape but they get caught. Fathers family locks them in the carriage and attempts to burn them both alive. Mother sacrifices herself to save the kid & he basically watched her burn to death in front of him.] They go back to the house and shes properly treated, ML believes this was an assassination attempt but isn't sure if its for FL or the prince. it is later revealed that it was planned by the MLs uncle and intended for ML & FL. The prince's arrival isn't good for them because his presence there is a sign of favor towards the ML & FL. The prince invites the 2 of them as guests of honor to the ball, ML learns to dance because he never learned and doesn't want to leave her hanging. 62 - Schemes are afoot now that the MC has been informed by the cousin that her brother was seen meeting with the current duke's uncle. MC is worried that her gambling addict brother will expose her weakness by letting everyone know she was complicit in her sisters abuse & will use that to make moves in order to steal their goldmine baby sister away. In addition shes worried of souring her relationship with the ML because of this. 56.5 - baby sis speaks! ML got her and the FL a horse. With that gift something in her mental state just kinda clicks into place and she’s smiling and talking. The ML has feelings for the FL and is determined for her to become his family fr. Trying to do anything and everything to get her to stay in the marriage forever. The FL is starting to get feelings but she’s denying them so she can keep everything “to the original plot” [ story is about 3 children and their father who were left behind when their mother passed giving birth to the youngest. with misplaced guilt the father & siblings participated in abusing the daughter for "killing" the mother, as well as taking advantage of her inherited fairy powers that make her cry diamonds (or some other gem). They wasted the gems on gambling & other exorbitant spending until the ML comes in and kills everyone, saving the FL. Or that's what would've happened if the MC didn't possess the elder sister. Immediately she takes action to avoid that fate stowing her sister away in a suitcase and running from the house in order to marry her off to the ML like in the book. Again, nothing goes as planned because shes too early, and MC ends up in a mutually beneficial marriage contract with the ML, she needs his status for protection from her greedy relatives until her sibling is of age, & to inherit the title according to his recently departed grandfathers will the ML needs to be married or else his uncle and their greedy ass shallow family will inherit. (greedy/shallow because they hate him for his "half blood" & "witch blood" lineage but the cousin is seriously down to fuck for looks and position)
